A DOCTOR who has dedicated his work to the quest for eternal life insists the record for the oldest living person will soon fall and someone already alive will keep going until they make 1,000.

Dr Aubrey de Grey believes people who have already been born could live for ten centuries because of ongoing research being done into "repairing the effects of ageing."

He hopes to ultimately create preventative treatments that mean humans would be able to consistently re-repair and live as long as 1,000 years or possible even forever.

British-born Mr de Grey, who graduated from Cambridge University in 1985 insists he is one of very few scientists looking at preventing, rather than slowing down ageing, and is perplexed why there is not huge focus on it.

He told the actuary.com: "To me, ageing was the world’s most important problem. It was so obvious that I never tested the assumption. I always presumed that everyone else thought the same."

But his theory for repairing ageing has not been widely accepted by peers.

He said: "People have this crazy concept that ageing is natural and inevitable, and I have to keep explaining that it is not.

“The human body is a machine with moving parts and like a car or an aeroplane, it accumulates damage throughout life as a consequence of normal operation."

Mr de Grey is the co-founder and chief science officer of Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS) Research Foundation in California, USA,.

Long innings? Dr Aubrey de GreyTheir website claims there are just seven reasons why we age and they can all be targeted.

It said: "Decades of research in aging people and experimental animals has established that there are no more than seven major classes of such cellular and molecular damage.

"We can be confident that this list is complete, first and foremost because of the fact that scientists have not discovered any new kinds of aging damage in nearly a generation of research, despite the increasing number of centres and scientists dedicated to studying the matter, and the use of increasingly powerful tools to examine the aging body.

"In its own way, each of these kinds of damage make our bodies frail, and contribute to the rising frailty and ill-health that appears in our sixth decade of life and accelerates thereafter.

"SENS Research Foundation’s strategy to prevent and reverse age-related ill-health is to apply the principles of regenerative medicine to repair the damage of aging at the level where it occurs.

"We are developing a new kind of medicine: regenerative therapies that remove, repair, replace, or render harmless the cellular and molecular damage that has accumulated in our tissues with time.

People have this crazy concept that ageing is natural and inevitable, and I have to keep explaining that it is not.

Aubrey de Grey

"By reconstructing the structured order of the living machinery of our tissues, these rejuvenation biotechnologies will restore the normal functioning of the body's cells and essential biomolecules, returning aging tissues to health and bringing back the body’s youthful vigor."

But, with donors like Google and Paypal, the charity organisation has raised millions of dollars to continue its hopeful research, and it has come in for criticism from mainstream scientists over ethics and feasibility.

Dr Tilo Kunath, of the Centre for Regenerative Medicine at the University of Edinburgh, branded Mr de-Grey 100 per cent wrong and said it was impossible for anyone to live longer than around 120 now or in the near future.

He said: "Many people put up prizes for anyone who can come up with the secret, Google has put up prizes, but Mr de_grey is wrong. He should be able to do it with an animal.

"But it can't even be done with a mouse. The only way to do it extend will extend its life by 30 per cent, and that is by restricting its diet, so he is 100 per cent wrong."

Pro Zio "Christians United for Israel" is led not a Christian but by a Jewish extremist!

Dual Commentary by Dr. Patrick Slattery and below by Dr. David Duke —It’s not just the Holy Land that is occupied by Jews. Increasingly Christianity itself is Jewish-occupied territory. We see the Pope groveling before Israeli and Jewish leaders as part of “Christian-Jewish dialogue” while mainstream Protestants get sucked into Jewish-orchestrated “interfaith networks.” But of course, nowhere is it more evident than among evangelical Christian Zionists. I turned on a Christian television station on Christmas day only to find Rabbi Jonathan Bernis (pictured left) of Jewish Voice Ministry International soliciting money from Christians to promote JVMI’s mission of “equipping the Church,” which he explained meant providing education about the Hebraic roots of Christianity and the Church’s responsibility to Israel and the Jewish People. To this end he asked for money to provide health care to needy Jews around the world (what about needy Christians in America?) and told viewers to support Israel.

But with only $17 million in annual revenues, JVMI is small potatoes in the Christian Zionist world. The big fish in the pond is Christians United for Israel, which has pastor John Hagee as its posterboy but is actually led by Executive Director David Brog. Brog is not only Jewish, but is in fact the cousin of Israeli Defense Minister and former Prime Minister Ehud Barak. Here is his biography from the CUFI website:

“David Brog is the executive director of Christians United for Israel (CUFI). Before CUFI, Brog worked in the United States Senate for seven years, rising to be chief of staff to Senator Arlen Specter and staff director of the Senate Judiciary Committee. He has also served as an executive at America Online and practiced corporate law in Tel Aviv, Israel and Philadelphia, PA. Brog is the author of Standing with Israel: Why Christians Support the Jewish State (2006) and In Defense of Faith: the Judeo-Christian Idea and the Struggle for Humanity (2010). In 2007, the Forward newspaper listed Brog in its “Forward 50″ most influential Jews in America. He is a graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Law School.”

Ehud Barak’s Cousin (Mis)Directs America’s Christian Zionists

Comments by Dr. David Duke with parts taken from The Passionate Attachment –In an attempt to direct attention away from their influence over U.S. Middle East policy, the predominantly Jewish pro-Israel lobby sometimes points to the passionate support of many Christian evangelicals — usually referred to as Christian Zionists — for the Jewish state. The largest of these Christian Zionist groups, with over one million members, is Christians United for Israel (CUFI); thereby, also making it the largest U.S.-based pro-Israel organization. Most people familiar with the hardline pro-Israel group associate it with John Hagee, the theatrical San Antonio-based pastor who has a large ministry. He is the ceremonial head of the CUFI. But the guy who actually runs the organization, is the much less well known CUFI executive director.

Revealingly, the person directing an organization called “Christians United” is not even a Christian!

In fact he is a devout Jew which has to be the height of irony in that Judaism has long seen Jesus Christ as one of the worst enemies of the Jewish religion and people.

The Jewish Talmud, the books of Jewish Law, spews with hatred against Jesus Christ. It says that the Jewish Priests themselves murdered Jesus and further claims that their magicians are torturing Jesus for all of eternity by boiling him in human excrement.

This is the looney, crazy, insane world of Zio power and how they get away with this incredible manipulation.

Shamefully, too many Christians don’t even know these things, and by supporting this tribal, racist supremacism, they support the most dedicated enemies of Jesus Christ on Earth. And they besmirch every morality taught by Christianity. Christians who support these Jewish tribalists are literally supporting the promotion of just about everything Christians oppose.Who do Christians think runs the sick, evil of Hollywood. It’s certainly not Christians. It is run by the tribal brothers of Mr. David Brog.

Who leads the efforts for destruction of the family, for abortion and just everything evangelical Christians oppose? Take a guess.

One of the really tragic aspects of this perversion of Christianity is that by supporting Jewish extremism they support many forms of anti-Christianism.

The truth is that Jewish organizations have been the driving force to remove Christian symbols and culture from public life in America, even the outlawing of Christian Christmas displays on public land and Christmas carols in schools.

Far worse, by supporting Israel and it’s the horrific murderous crimes against Palestinians and Lebanese, Christians who do so actually have perhaps unwittingly supported the unChristian murder and maiming of tens of thousands of innocent people, many of them women and children.

Even more shocking, by supporting the evils of Israel, Christians who support Israel have literally supported the murder and maiming and torture of tens of thousands of fellow Christians and their families in the Mideast!

And one should not avoid learning about the Jewish tribalism in Bolshevism that slaughtered tens of millions of Christians in Russia and into Europe!

Of course, Jewish power is now so supreme that they can have the Chutzpah to be brazen about their manipulation of Christian sheep being led to the slaughter.

This anti-Christian Jewish radical, David Brog, has even admitted that he does not believe in the evangelical theology that he promotes in his “Christians United” organization.

Of course, in last 30 years Christian theology which has always recognized the anti-Christian hatred of Judaism, has been twisted and used to promote support anti-Christian Israel and the anti-Christian Jewish power in the West!

In a Q & A with readers of Israel’s Haaretz newspaper some years ago, David Brog was asked if his theology required Israel to be in control of the entire Holy Land. “Just to clarify,” Brog replied, “the evangelical theology I write about is not my theology — I’m Jewish.”

While the executive director of Christians United for Israel may not be Christian, there’s no questioning his pro-Israel credentials. When another reader asked if he was related to the current Israeli Defense Minister, Brog congratulated him on his perspicacity. Explained the CUFI leader:

Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak is my cousin. He changed his last name from “Brog” to “Barak” during his time in the army. Given Barak’s illustrious career in the Israeli army and government, this is a relation of which I’m very proud.

Samsung Just Patented

Smart Contact Lenses With A Built-In Camera

Every time I get to Facetime with a friend who lives half a world away, I’m amazed and thankful for technology. And it just keeps getting better and better. Last week, the South Korean multinational company, Samsung, was granted their patent for “smart” contact lenses. If these move into the development stage, the lenses will have a built-in camera and sensors that can be controlled by blinking.

Currently, only Samsung and Google hold a patent for content lenses of this kind. But, Google’s main area of interest is to develop sensors within the lens that can determine blood sugar levels through tears. So, that means no competition for Samsung.

Samsung’s concept instead sees embedded antennas that would, “communicate recorded data to your smart phone, taking wearable devices to a whole new level,” according to the article at Collective Evolution.

Here are the patent diagrams that were made public via SamMobile:

If this tech is developed and brought to market, can you imagine taking video of your first time surfing- with your contact lenses? Can you imagine both the freedom and new level of bondage that some people might feel with technology like this? Not to mention the potential health implications.

At this point, it’s important to remember that this is still just a patent. So, we can all take a deep breath and either celebrate or start researching about the potential dangers of this new technology. As always, I’ll keep a watchful eye out and update you just as soon as there is any new information.

The Global Economy is Facing a "Long Wave" Recession

We bring to the attention of Global research readers a study by two prominent Russian economists on Kondratief’s “Long Wave”.

The Long Wave Theory of Nikolai Kondratiev’s, first formulated in the 1920s, constitutes an important landmark in economic theory.

As to whether it is useful in understanding the current global economic crisis, however, is another matter.

The K cycle approach posits a regular long cycle. It tends, therefore, to ignore the deliberate process of market manipulation which characterizes the current financial crisis.

Michel Chossudovsky, Global Research, November 27, 2008

THE LONG WAVE THEORY IS REMEMBERED ONLY IN CASES OF COLLAPSE

The financial crisis that has broken out in the United States and lately encompassed the whole world requires adequate measures from the global community. But what action should be in this case considered adequate? To answer this question, we have first to identify the real underlying reasons that generated the crisis, and estimate its depth and length. Dogmatized liberal economists keep convincing us that in several months, or at least in a year or two, everything will “calm down”, and the world will return to the development progress with Russia transcending to the innovation model of economy. Is that really so?

More than eighty years ago, prominent Russian economist, Prof. Nikolai D. Kondratiev described and theoretically substantiated the existence of grand (45-60 years) cycles of economic development, in which framework the global “reserve of major material values” are being replenished, i.e. the aggregate productive forces of the world community transcending to a higher level each cycle.

According to Kondratiev, every cycle has a rising and declining phase. The internal dynamic of the cycles (named K-cycles after him) and the principle of fluctuations is based on the mechanism of accumulation, concentration, dispersion, and devaluation of capital as a key factor of the development of the market (capitalist) economy.

Moreover, Kondratiev indicated that this cyclical regularity will exist as long as the capitalist mode of production will. “Every new phase of the cycle is predetermined with accumulation of factors of the preceding phase, and every new cycle is following the preceding one as naturally as one phase of each cycle after another. However, it has to be understood that every new cycle emerges in new particular historical conditions, on a new level of development of productive forces, and therefore is not a simple reiteration of the preceding cycle“. [Not simple reiteration, but, basically, yes., according to Kondry’s objectivistic scheme. True only in a particular eco-financial system.]

Nikolai Kondratiev managed to study only two big cycles and a half, ceasing his research on the rising phase of the third one. He delivered his report already on the descending phase of the third cycle, in 1926, when the scale and length of this descending phase could not yet be assessed (so he predicted the Great Depression):

1. The rising phase – from late 1780s-early 1790s to 1810-1817.

The declining phase: from 1810-1817 till 1844-1851.

II. The rising phase: from 1844-1851 till 1870-1875.

The declining phase: from 1870-1875 till 1890-1896.

III. The rising phase: from 1890-1896 till 1914-1920.

Regrettably for international economic science, Nikolai Kondratiev fell into disgrace: in 1928, he lost the position of director of his research institute; in 1930, jailed for “anti-Soviet activities”, and eventually executed. Orthodox Marxists, understanding history as a unidirectional linear process and forecasting the collapse of capitalism “next day”, perceived his theory of gradual improvement of the capitalist order as a dangerous heresy. Other critics viewed regular declines of economy he described as sabotage of five-year economic plans (though Kondratiev took part in elaboration of the first five-year plan). As a result, Kondratiev’s scientific heritage was blacked out for almost 60 years. Only in 1984, economist Stanislav Menshikov, a world-known scientist involved in forecasting under the auspices of the United Nations, a friend and co-author of John Kenneth Galbraith, rehabilitated Kondratiev’s name in an article in “Communist” magazine.

In 1989, Mr. Menshikov and his wife published the most profound analysis of Kondratiev’s theory under the title “Long Waves in Economy: When the Society Changes its Skin”. One more prominent Russian author, Sergey Glazyev, contributed to Kondratiev’s theory, providing structural analysis of the underlying change of “technological patterns (modes)”.

Kondratiev’s name was well known to Western economists. However, Stanislav Menshikov noticed a curious phenomenon: the interest to the theory of grand cycles rejuvenates usually in the declining phases – in 1920-1930s and in 1970-1980s, while in the rising phases, when global economy develops progressively and fluctuations, in accordance with Kondratiev’s theory, are not very deep, the interest fades away.

A Long-Predicted Depression

Nikolai Kondratiev’s forecasts were fully confirmed in the period of the Great Depression that coincided with the lower point of the third period’s phase of decline. The further periodization is a subject of polemic. Researchers mainly divide into two groups, applying different approaches to the determination of cycles.

The first group, basing its analysis primarily on indices of real economy – amounts of production, dynamic of employment, investment activity and various structural proportions – believes that the declining phase of the third cycle finished with the beginning of the World War II. The rising phase of the fourth cycle, beginning during the war, continued till mid-1960s. The US dollar crisis and the collapse of the Bretton Woods system in 1968-71 became the critical point for transition to the declining phase, corresponding with the oil crisis and stagflation of the 1970s. “Reaganomics” in the United States and Margaret Thatcher’s policy in Britain marked the transition to the next – fifth K-circle, its rising phase encompassing the second half of the 1980s and the 1990s.

As usual, in the end of the rising phase, in the so-called saturation zone, we are faced with such phenomena as decrease of the rate of return in the real sector and the relevant outflow of capitals into the sphere of financial speculation that generate first overheating of the stock market (late 1990s), and later the mortgage market (early 2000s). The researchers from the first group are convinced that cycles compress with intensification of scientific-technological progress: since 1940s, the length of a cycle has shrunk from 50-55 to 40-45 years.

The continuation of Kondratiev’s regularity looks as follows:

The declining phase of the third cycle: from 1914-1920 (in the United States, from late 1920s) to 1936-1940.

IV. The rising phase: from 1936-1940 till 1966-1971.

The declining phase: from 1966-1971 till 1980-1985.

V. The rising phase: from 1980-1985 to 2000-2007.

The declining phase from 2000-2007 till approximately 2015-2025 (forecast);

VI. The rising phase from 2015-2025 till 2035-2045 (forecast).

The second group of researchers, relying rather on financial indices, i.e. the dynamics of the stock market and the dynamics of bonds return rates, extend the declining phase of the third cycle for the whole period of the World War II and the postwar reconstruction until 1949. Similarly to the first group, they locate the extreme point of the rising phase in early 1970s, but interpret the decline of that time as a “primary recession” followed by a plateau lasting till the beginning of the XXI century. They indicate that similar plateaus corresponded to the “bull trends” at the stock market in the preceding cycles, respectively in 1816-1835, 1864-1874, and 1921-1929. This group of researchers estimates the average duration of a cycle in 50 years, but the last cycle in their description is oddly protracted, exceeding 60 years.

Thus, according to the second group of analysts, Kondratiev’s regularity is continued as follows:

The declining phase of the third cycle: from 1914-1920 till 1949.

IV. The rising phase: from 1950-70s, with a “primary recession” until 1982 followed by a plateau until 2000s.

The declining phase since early (mid –?) 2000s.

Thus, despite significant methodological difference in approach, both groups of analysts identify the 2000s as the beginning of a decline, i.e. a phase of depression.

The Current Crisis is Only the Beginning

At the face of decline, we expect a new burst of interest to Kondratiev’s theory. Meanwhile, liberal monetarists whose view had been dominating in economic science for 25 years are discredited, and their efforts to interpret the current crisis as a temporary fluctuation in global economy, only reveal their economic ignorance. The experience of earlier K-cycles indicates that traditional anti-crisis measures are efficient only on the rising phase of the cycle, in the period of burgeoning growth when recessions are slight and transient on the background of the progressive development of global economy.

Gerhard Mensch, a scientist who studied similar processes during the declining phase of the 1970s, emphasized that in the conditions of deterioration of economic conjuncture, monetarist methods of resolving the problem are inefficient, as restrictive credit policy inevitably whips up consumer prices, while liberal pro-active policy favors speculative operations. It is quite natural that the strongly restrictive approach, chosen by the European Central Bank, results in rise of inflation, though five years ago, effects of the same policy was opposite. At the onset of the crisis, inflation in Europe did not exceed 2%, but by today, it has plummeted, despite the high level of the refinance rate, introduced by ECB. Meanwhile, the liberal policy, conducted until the recent period in the United States, beefed up stock market speculation and expansion of fictitious (inflated) capitals, stimulating speculative increase of prices in sectors of most marketable commodities – real estates, gold, oil, and food. This increase of pricing has no relation to amounts of production and saturation of the consumer demand.

Despite all efforts undertaken by ECB Chair Jean-Claude Trichet and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, positive changes are not achieved. The global economy has to pass through a period of “reloading”, getting rid of the over-accumulated capital through its massive devaluation in the process of an inevitable and lengthy recession. Devaluation of the monetary capital is likely to proceed through a chain of financial crashes, triggering the third default of the US dollar (as it happened in 1920-1930s and in 1970s). Thus, the global economy is going to be shaken many times, and the current crisis is only a shot across the bow, warning of major events to arrive in the following years. The global economy is likely to reach the lowest point at the end of the declining phase of the fifth K-cycle, in 2012-2015.

The crash of the US financial system may happen one or two years earlier in case the new U.S. President chooses a dogmatic approach to the current problems.
